As a dad I can finally watch breastfeeding without it being creepy. It's such a beautiful thing, and it warms my heart. It makes me feel more human
Edit: I do not understand why I am getting downvoted here? It should be fairly obvious that this is not a sexual thing? Do people disagree with it being beautiful?
The Ultimate Weapon: Actual good protection against nukes would make that country able to use nukes again. Nuclear weapons becomes a part of their arsenal for warfare again
Yes, I know its not really that feasible.
Edit: If a nation does not fear retalliation due to this protection. Then the second strike capability is dramatically weakened. Thus making nuclear weapons a real option for the country available again
Share egoistical reasons to do solarpunk choices
My philosophy is that in order to get good habits that save the climate and environment there has to be non-ideological benefits. Money, laziness, reliability, etc.
Reframing actions is in my opinion the right way forward. At least to help others into doing the right things. I am excited to hear your ideas.
FYI: Norway
Repair Avoid the work of finding the replacement, period of not being able to use it, getting rid of the packaging/trash etc. Not being able to use a smartphone or PC is incredibly frustrating. Repair is faster than sending it in to the seller. Money is also a bonus.
No car No car is simply to avoid stress, maintenance, parking, and of course money.
Buying used Used is often nice as it saves me the time to build the IKEA furniture, delivery to my door, cheaper etc.
Selling used Can get rid of large items without carrying it out. Not having have to take it to the recycling center.
Growing herbs Simply higher quality, and always having it available
Public transit Able to focus on something else than driving. I prefer playing games, reading, etc. Safer. Cheaper. Also more walking which gives health benefits.
Apartment living Close to no maintenance, a house is soooo much work. Not something I am willing to spend my life doing (I have tried).
Airtravel Meh, too many hurdles. Should be a really good reason or very long distances on rare occasions. For shorter distances trains is a lot more comfortable. An airplane is far from the hour you spend in the air. It includes the waiting, security, boarding, travel to airport etc. I'd rather travel and stay a place for multiple weeks, not going through all those hurdles for a weekend or only a week, atleast 2-3 weeks, preferably longer.
More ideas?
What is some original ways you solve everyday issues?
I just used a pet groomer with a vacuum to trim my beard. Worked great, no messy hair everywhere. Will continue doing it.
What things do you do?
